Taylor\u2019s Dad Wants People to Have a Preventative Test<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re aware of what is involved in a quintuple bypass surgery, you\u2019ll realize that Taylor\u2019s dad went through quite a physical ordeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuintuple bypass surgery is a complex procedure done to treat people with five severely blocked major arteries that feed the heart,\u201d according to VeryWell Health<\/a>. \u201cBlood vessels are removed from another part of the body and transplanted onto each affected heart vessel to reroute blood flow around the blockages.\u201d<\/p>\n

VeryWell Health continues: \u201cThis surgery \u2014 also called quintuple coronary artery bypass graft surgery \u2014 improves blood supply to the heart, reducing pain, shortness of breath, and possibly the risk of cardiac-related death.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortunately, you can take preventative measures before surgery becomes necessary. It was thanks to a cardiac stress test that Scott\u2019s condition was detected by doctors, Taylor said during her appearance on fianc\u00e9\u00a0Travis Kelce\u2019s\u00a0\u201cNew Heights\u201d\u00a0podcast (via People) on August 13.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, he\u2019s been telling all his friends, \u2018You need to get the stress test because that\u2019s what\u2019s actually preventative.\u2019 If you can find that earlier, you don\u2019t have to have a bypass surgery,\u201d Taylor explained. \u201cYou can sort out those blockages with stents and things that are a lot less invasive.\u201d<\/p>\n
